If I Can Do It

I fit the profile: I'm married with children, have a college degree, and I'm more than 40 years old. That makes me the typical AMA member-except that I'm a woman. Only one percent of the AMA membership is female. Many women (and many men) born in the latter half of the 20th century never spent time tinkering with engines or built Heathkit radios or simple balsa models as children. Becoming involved in a hobby that calls upon knowledge gained from those experiences can be rather intimidating.
